1st printing. Cover by Tom Box. Twenty chillingly graphic tales from 26 creators about the dead-who-walk that are guaranteed to make your flesh crawl and keep your lights on at night. But what's so different about another Zombie Anthology? Editor Will Vigar said, "I decided I didn't want lumbering idiots having their brains blown out. I wanted contributors to do something different; something small, something intimate; something thought provoking, satirical or crazy. And we have all of those. And more." From the original diagnosis to a far future victory. From the poignant to the outlandish. All wrapped up in two gorgeous colour covers by Tom Box, this is the zombie apocalypse as seen by the living, the undead, and some who may be either. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 160 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $20.99.

Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in. 260 pages, Text Only. Cover price $13.99.
